Report RSS My luck ran out

Posted by on

Ok. So today I'm not talking about a bad experience with a game or the L.O Department :)
Ill be talking about my past few days and how some of it came to be very bad :( But Ill only explain briefly to keep it short

Friday, 7 May 2010: This day I had an optometrist booking for the tests for contact lenses(I was tired of my ever-breaking glasses) at 14:00. School on Fridays ends at 13:30 and so I am not worried much because I figured my dad would take me to school and take me to the optometrist. All good and well :) BUT thats when my luck ran out...

Friday, 7 May 2010, 06:23: Firstly, I wake up usually at 06:00 as that still gives me more than enough time to get ready, shower, go on Facebook, RelicNews and ModDB but that morning was different. I woke up at 06:23 to find that my father hasn't showered yet and he should have been done by the time I wake up, my brother also has to go shower before me. I walk to the kitchen to get some breakfast as usual and found that the cereals are all finished and there are no leftovers from the previous night. I eventually go to shower and dress. I go outside and wait for my dad but he tells me that I have to go to school on my bike as usual.

Friday, 7 May 2010, 07:16: I get to school later than usual(ad late for school generally). As I cross the rear gravel parking area, my bike's pedal suddenly falls off and thats the first REALLY bad thing that happened. I had a relatively usual school day apart from by wallet being stolen, 2 of my friends ending up sick and writing the worst ever Social Studies test ever!

Friday, 7 May 2010, 13:43: Some of the kids in my class made a mess in the last period and the teacher held us back. I get back to my bike very late with only 17minutes till my booking. I forget about my loose pedal and I leave in a big hurry. As I reach the gravel parking area a few meters later... the pedal came loose, I hit the dirt with tremendous force, I get a nasty cut on the leg, and a big crowd of kids from the hostel stand laughing and only one of them offering a little help to find "The Missing Pedal". I eventually leave the school and head home with a rather awkward pose on my bike having no pedal for the 2km ride home through the never ending traffic who seemingly try to make crossing roads as difficult as they vehiclely possible(mostly the drivers I suppose).

Friday, 7 May 2010, 13:57: I finally get home to find that there is nothing to eat and only 3minutes left and to find my dad at home, which was sort of lucky. He rushes me to the optometrist and with my light sensitive eyes, I go through the tests looking like a heart-broken, druggie teenager who just lost his to best friend when playing CoD4. They optometrist tries to put in the test contacts but struggles a bit with that part and finally comes to the conclusion that its my skin medication perscritpion pills that have dried out my corneas that are causing the pain and discomfort. Luckily I go off those in a month. We finally manage to get them settled and check the alignment. Now the wait for my contacts.

...The rset of the weekend was rather uneventfull at my moms house in Pretoria except for a rather large heap of homewrok I never managed to finish...
